A simple chicken dish with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in honey and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce.
  7. If you want a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more flavor.
  • Adjust honey and soy sauce to your taste.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
